the leaked celeb pics bother me, only because it was wrong and those were private and embarrassing to those people. If you wanted to make a reasoned case against that ("how would you feel if..."), then fine. But I suspect that you are just being insecure.

I'm really not. I just don't have tolerance for laziness. /u/casualblair's recommendation was sound, and the fact is that an intern is looking to compete in the marketplace, which means that they need to be more marketable than the other options, not less.

It's harder than ever to find full-time work and striving for mediocrity won't help. But if you truly believe that learning some basic modern business vocabulary and working hard to come off as engaged and competent in your chosen profession is too much work, then don't be surprised when people who worked harder than your recommendation consistently get hired over those who chose to party.

Truthfully, you're only hurting yourself while helping other people get the job that you want in the future.

that's because you wrote it. Try to imagine coming in and seeing code you'd never seen before. Do you have to scroll to read any variables? Are all your variables (even your loop variables) self-documenting? If not, are there comments explaining what they are and why they're there?

Amazon still uses it. I just went through the awful experience myself. On the bright side, I don't have a cs degree, but cra, med my brain full of stuff for data structures, etc. And now I am thinking about creating a repository of implementations of "bread and butter skills"- commented code of various algorithms implemented in multiple languages.

java developers are in high demand for their cross-platform capability. Java's the first language in University, and I've been denied jobs SOLELY because I'm not a java developer (C# is stupidly similar syntactically- enough so that any reasonable person should be able to just pick it up). You've got C, C++, so Java's just another flavor of C (more user friendly).

I strongly recommend going for it. Though C# also has cross-platform capability and Visual Studio is a superior IDE.

In 10 years you'll see downward pressure on drivers- delivery drivers won't exist.

I bet air traffic controllers will be rendered obsolete as well

And pilots are largely there just to land and take off

checkout people at the grocery store already are diminishing and won't exist in another 10 years

fast food cooks will just be low-paid maintenance techs for several restaurants

people who take your order at restaurants will be a special treat in 10-20 years

software industry will suffer from a glut of potential employees

workplace process automation and error handling will take care of a large enough percentage of the office workforce that secretaries as we know them won't exist (Siri will be superior in a way that no secretary can hope to match)

3d printing will increase in quality, and will likely make custom manufacturing obsolete. That'll be the final nail in the coffin for one-off or specialty manufacturing. It could also destroy general manufacturing as well.

lab grown meat will render grass fed cows useless and as such nobody will buy them up to graze on land anymore. That'll be nice for CO2 emissions and river water runoff issues, but bad for the remaining farming communities

robotics will automate the mining process for materials, making it safer, but cutting off income for many, but offering jobs to those who maintain the bots... until those get automated.

Nurses and doctors are relatively safe, though they will be offered more tools.

Likewise I think lawyers are safe- though paralegals need to watch out. Maybe the jobs will just get better.

Barber and/or beautician is probably safe

Janitor might be safe, might not be.

programmer... might be safe for a while longer, though I wouldn't rest on your laurels here either.

teacher will be safe

With all the "safe" jobs, though, recognize that the automation movement will put tens of millions out of work, meaning they'll try to find work elsewhere. That means too many people applying for jobs, and candidates getting more desperate and thus taking less money (which is already happening in many places).

Since the entire manufacturing to delivery process will be automated from mining and refining of materials to the delivery to your doorstep, I see little reason for not having a 90% reduction in the price of commercial goods; so shaving cream and food should be super cheap in the future- good news for those with any money, and better news for food stamp administrations (they can offer food assistance to more people).
